New Gonzales pressures ISPs on data retention
I guess this is the right forum, if not, apologies.

From a few days ago.

"In a private meeting with industry representatives, Gonzales, Mueller and other senior members of the Justice Department said Internet service providers should retain subscriber information and network data for two years, according to two sources familiar with the discussion who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The closed-door meeting at the Justice Department, which Gonzales had requested, according to the sources, comes as the idea of legally mandated data retention has become popular on Capitol Hill and inside the Bush administration. Supporters of the idea say it will help prosecutions of child pornography because in many cases, logs are deleted during the routine course of business.

In a speech last month at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, Gonzales said that Internet providers must retain records for a "reasonable amount of time." "

Is 2 years a reasonable amount of time? He thinks so. Do your logs go back 2 years? How much data is that?

New That's a good question
Do your logs go back 2 years? How much data is that?
I know. Maybe everyone could go to the DoJ site to read the several-hundred-page pdf of this proposal and all its supporting arguments. Then go back again every couple of hours to see if there have been any updates. Maybe do some research while there; you know: searches, a couple wget's to make sure you didn't miss anything, stuff like that. Then the DoJ webmasters could say how big the logfiles got, and what it would take to store two years' worth of that traffic.
